Description

A simple zucchini bread recipe with walnuts is flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon zest, as well as an unexpected addition of fresh raspberries.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup white sugar
1 cup shredded unpeeled zucchini
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 cup fresh raspberries
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
2 Combine flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Combine sugar, zucchini, vegetable oil, egg, and lemon zest in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture. Gently fold in raspberries and walnuts; pour into the prepared loaf pan.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes, then cover with aluminum foil. Continue baking until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
